Dispatch

The sales and dispatch cycle begins when sales orders and selected invoices are entered or imported into the Back Order Control Centre. Here items are allocated for release based on available quantities. Once goods are allocated, they are ready for picking.Allocated goods are transferred to the Warehouse Manager's Dispatch Management System. Warehouse staff are directed to pick and pack orders. These orders may appear on printed picklists or transferred to electronic data collection and/or scanning devices. Stock items need not be barcoded, although it is standard practice to barcode as many items as possible in order to improve efficiency and accuracy.Warehouse staff have numerous options available when picking and packing goods. Goods may be packed based on customer order number, or all customer orders pending, or bin location, or product code, or priority, or other criteria. This allows warehouse staff to maximize time by picking goods in sequences they find most efficient.Once the items relating to the order are found, they are scanned directly into the system database via an RF based mobile data collector, or uploaded via a connecting cable, or taken near a PC and scanned using a hand-held scanner -- or product items may be entered manually. CAPITAL Warehouse Manager is a flexible solution providing a variety of different scanning and interfacing options, subject to the most appropriate technology suitable for your business requirements and budget.Data gathered using mobile data collectors can be uploaded into the Warehouse Manager seamlessly. Warehouse Manager then confirms that the items collected match those the customer ordered. Warehouse staff may indicate ‘short-picks’ where orders could not be fulfilled due to shortages caused by damaged stock, etc. Since the warehousing system can track the weight of each item, the estimated weight can optionally be compared against the actual weight as a further means of confirming the accuracy of the pick pack procedure.After the pick is entered and accepted, the customer order is marked ready for release (invoicing) or an invoice can be generated and printed, faxed or emailed immediately. Other forms and documents, such as dispatch labels, and email notification confirming the packing/shipment of goods, can also be sent.

Put Away

The CAPITAL purchase and delivery cycle begins with the manual or automatic generation of purchase orders based on your stock replenishment requirements. As goods are delivered from suppliers, items are checked off against orders pending against undelivered purchase orders.

Scanning & Data Capture

In Warehouse Manager Receive warehouse staff scan goods as they arrive using wireless data capture devices, fixed or cordless scanners, or by manual entry via a PC. The collected information is verified against actual purchase orders. The Warehouse Manager may be set to only accept the correct quantity or a quantity within an under and/or over percentage range.Once goods are scanned, Stock Control can be updated immediately, or quantity adjustments deferred until purchase orders are processed. Received goods may set purchase orders as delivered or may leave purchase orders open but marked with the quantities actually received. Accounting staff can then verify the purchase order pricing, etc., before accepting supplier invoices.
